[Public consultation] - EU Bioeconomy Strategy

The new Bioeconomy Strategy, due for adoption by the end of 2025, aims to advance innovation and maintain the EU's leadership in the bioeconomy. It will propose actions to unlock the potential of bioeconomy innovations, so that they can reach the market, generating green jobs and growth.

The strategy will also focus on reinforcing circularity and sustainability, while contributing to the decarbonisation of the EU economy. It will set the framework conditions to enable bioeconomy startups, entrepreneurs and new business models to thrive. 

Commissioner for the Environment, Water Resilience and a Competitive Circular Economy, Jessika Roswall, who is leading the initiative, said:  "We have to make a collective effort to build a thriving sustainable and circular bioeconomy. This consultation is a key channel to gather as many ideas as possible to shape the upcoming Bioeconomy Strategy, reflecting the needs and aspirations of citizens, companies, farmers, foresters and other stakeholders. I invite all concerned parties to contribute.”

All stakeholders are encouraged to participate in the online consultation using the Have Your Say portal. The feedback period is open until 23 June.
